Ok, so it's been a while...

Ok, so I'm being attacked quite briskly for not keeping up to date with my blog. (Sorry, I guess.) I knew before I started this that I'd go through dry spells. Oh well. So if I have to write something, I figure I'll write a movie review for the most recent movie I went to, Perfect Stranger.

Be forewarned if you're thinking of seeing this that there are some disturbing images, though they're not really focused on much. The biggest thing for many people will be the pornographic images posted on a wall that they pan by with the camera at one point, and also a couple on the computer screen at another point. If you think you can handle this, and a lot of bad language, then I think this movie is sure worth a look. I tend to like a movie with twists in it, and this one takes plot twists to a whole new level. Remember the twist in the Sixth Sense, that's child's play in comparison to Perfect Stranger. I'll try to explain somewhat about the movie, without giving away the main twists.

So Halle Berry and Giovanni Ribisi are friends. Berry is a big time investigative journalist for a major newspaper who writes under a pen name to keep the heat off her while she's investigating. After being pulled off her latest expose for political ties between her target and the newspaper she works for, she runs into an old friend who appears to give her a tip about another story she could work on. A few days later the old friend turns up dead, and Halle puts on her investigative hat to find out about this tip she had given her, trying to see if she can find evidence that the target of this tip (Bruce Willis) was involved in this murder. Willis is a top executive for an advertising firm, and Halle gets a temp job near his office to get close to him. Things get pretty tense as the less-than-happily married Willis takes a bit of a liking to Halle, while she's trying to implicate him in her friend's murder.

SPOILER ALERT!
I'll try no to give away too much here, but as the investigation leads to charges and eventually a conviction, something just doesn't seem right. Far too many other more believable suspects have emerged, and soon it seems like literally anyone could've actually committed the murder.
Well, anyone except the one who actually did. I don't care how good you are at seeing twists coming before they're revealed, you'd never see this one. I can't bring myself to reveal it here though. Just watch it, you'll see.
END OF SPOILER!

Anyway, I thought the movie was very well done. Great acting!! (Duh! Berry, Willis and Ribisi!) And very entertaining! Again, just be forewarned of the crudeness in a couple of scenes, and the language throughout. But this one will keep you on the edge of your seats. (And try not to chew your fingernails down to their nubs!)

Ok, so I've finally updated my blog. Hopefully this will buy me another couple weeks before I'm goaded into updating this again. I'm really not trying to be a slacker, I just don't have a whole lot to say right now. At least not to the audience that reads this blog. ;)
